The New Frnit Tree Man.

Mr.. G. W. Suthern and his men ar
rived here yesterday and will can
vas the town and county in the in
terests of their nursery. Unlike the
fruit tree men who usually sell here,
they are our neighbors and have
their nursery in Harrison county.
Mr.. Suthern is known personally to
many residents of our county and is
square business man. He and his
men will offer nothing that is not
produced in their own nursery and
everything will be guaranteed just as
represented. In other parts of the
State many agents who sell for other
nurseries represent themselves as his
agents and are thereby enabled to
swindle the people. Besides Mr..
Suthern and his son his agents are
George Seese and Newton Blake.
Keep clear of all others and give
your orders to these gentlemen.

has proven.
The Parkersburg Sentinel notes
that Adolph Fischer, one of the

Governor Wilson has offered for

called for her husband who tore all

We Hear No objection.

"What a remarkable season. is
the common exclamation in regard
to the current fall.
True. it is remarkable as compar-
ed with the ordinary season in this
climate. Winter generally robs us
of this last of the fall months. In
stead of beginning with December,
the first winter month, according to
the Almanac, it usually begins with
November. We are entitled to fall
weather in November, even If we
don't get it; or otherwise we should
have a re-division of the seasons and
give to winter what is usually in
cluded in the winter weather.
The fact is that our winters gen
orally extend over five months, in
stead of three. Beginning with No
vember it runs through December,
January, February and March. In
other words it steals a month of both
our fall and spring seasons. He
who looks for spring before the first
Of April will be disappointed; and
he who postpones winter until the
end of November will generally have
frigid reminder of the folly of
counting November among the fall
months.
The weather of the past November
has not been without it's spurts of
winter, although exceptionally tenn
perate in the main. We refer to it
simply to note the exceptions, and
not to arouse any expectations of a
change Of seasons that will give us
in the future the traditional three
months of fall. We would be glad
if there were reliable indication of
that kind, but we don't see it. Next
November may be as wintry as Jan
uary ever was. But we are pleased
with an occasional exception to the
rale, and will be glad if this squirt
of fall weather shall run on to
Christmas.

A Fair Question.

Our farmers, as well as other
classes of our people, are frequently
heard to repeat the remark that 1--WE
ought to have county fair"
1t has been matter of regret that
the old Fair was allowed to die out.
Like many other good things, it was
not fully appreciated till after it was
dead.
In an agricultural county like this
where the leading interest is so pre-
dominant, it is strange that there
should not be some demonstration
by the dominant class that would
make them as conspicuous as they
are numerous. 1t required great
deal of drumming to get the farmers
to go into an organisation for gen
eral purposes. And this is yet the
only movement on the part of the
farmers that gives them distinc-
tive class standing before the public
There is no other occasion when
they come together as class.
There is no annual exhibition, fair,
or other appointment of like charac-
ter that would indicate that the
farmers, or their interests were of
any great Importance to the county.
( If there is no occasion for an ag-
ricultural fair in Monongalia county
then there is none in any county of
the State. If there is any advan-
tage in an agricultural fair to any
county in the State, then there
ought to be an advantage to Monon
gala county. For there is no other
county in the State whose interests
are more distinctively agricultural
than this.
Now, we do not propose to cham
pion the establishment of an agri-
cultural fair. But we take this oc-
casion to direct the attention of the
Farmers Union to this subject as
one more among the many matters
which call for their consideration.
We think the matter belongs to the
Farmers Union. If fair is to be
established, they ought to establish
it. If it is not established, they arc
the parties concerned-they must
be ready to answer the public in
quiry, "Why not?" If any advan
tages are to be derived from fair
the farmers are the benefciaries. i
no advantages arise, it is not because
fair is not good thing, but be
cause they have failed to make {
good thing of it.
We:would like to see the Farmers
Union tackle this matter of county
fair. We believe public sentimen
is in favor of it, if put upon proper
basis, and that it would receive gen
eral support. A good county fail
would work great improvement il
the county.

KEYsER, W. VA, November 25.-
Reliable information has been receiv-
ed here that Hon. Joseph Vanmeter
and John T. Vanmeter, of Old Fields,
Hardy county, and Edward Williams,
of Grant county, have within the
last few days made assignments for
the benefit of their creditors, The
liabilities are said to be very heavy.
and it is feared will not pay the in
debtedness. The failures following
closely upon those of Hon. John T..
Price and William Vanmeter, have
created very uneasy feeling
throughout the South Branch Valley.
They are attributed to heavy losses
on cattle within the past few years.

We had assumed that if there was
ever time when the counties of the

We are generally prepared to hear a

for everything that is left. We are
very modest, but we may be provok-

finding the topics that are freshest

or representations of those topics
who can present them in their fullest
and most comprehensive form. No
sooner does the public hear the CON

a fifth and sixth edition is sometimes
